[R] how to statically load a lib *.a

[Tony Q. Zhang]

Hi, 

   I built a PORT library (libport.a) from NetLib, which contains lots of
Fortran subroutins. How can I statically load it into R? Or should I
recompile R with this library?

btw, all I'm trying to do is to port _constrained_ optimization routine
'nlregb' into R. It is based on the public routines from netlib. I don't
know exactly how difficult (or easy) it is. 

many thanks for any suggestion
Tony
